I've forgotten how to smile
A common relapse, a notion of change within I didn't know I was going to be in a play Until it was already much too late They always say they're against the grain, c'mon, they all look the same They just joined another tribe to help them build up some old lie Nothing new to see here Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it It's raining again, creating puddles of uncertainty It's where my passion ends and the insecurity begins All of this combined, contaminating me Maybe someday we will see Maybe someday we will see They always say they're against the grain, c'mon, they all look the same They just joined another tribe to help them build up some old lie Nothing new to see here Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Where is, where is your honesty? Give us something real Wipe off your smile No more deception Is this real? Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it 02. Upon Returning Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
I can understand to a certain extent
The camaraderie and mass appeal But the feelings you hold You got 'em under control Make me realize how much you have grown I can understand what you meant That very few could even deal With the possible delivery of stone Make me realize you're on your own You're on your own I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better Please know I'll be here when you return I can understand to a certain extent What you're going through and how you feel But the stories you've told and the pictures you've shown Make me realize you're a hero You're a hero I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together But I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return But upon returning Nothing makes sense It's more affirming than the place you just left Everyone's living Everyone's working Everything's so deceiving Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together But I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return 03. The Tent Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
We need some light to find the lantern
Unzip the tent, we can use the moon I'm going out into the weeds To gather everything we need So, stay in, stay in until I'm done Until I'm done searching for the thing Even the faintest glint of light Can guide me right back to you You had no choice But to run and to go (I'll get you) Anything that you need Anything at all I'll hunt down for you And I'll be comin' home Through the dark Through the dark Gotta get back to you You're the light out from the shore The beacon is my guide The trail of crumbs I don't feel By your light By your light You have no choice But to run and to go Anything that you need Anything at all I'll hunt down for you And I'll be comin' home Through the dark Through the dark I've gotta get back to you The distance we maintain is a stable foundation A trail of crumbs is my motivation, motivation You have no choice But to run and to go (I'll get you back) Anything that you need Anything at all I'll hunt down for you And I'll be comin' home 04. Somebody Is Laughing Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Some are skeptics
And some believe Some refuse to say Well, if they've seen it They'll believe it They have nothing to fear (to fear) Searching for a meaning greater than us Something shiny and grand While there's plenty right here in front of us (right here) Somebody, somewhere is laughing Somebody, somewhere knows Somebody, somewhere is laughing Laughing 'cause they know So many people looking for answers So many people blindly convinced So many people looking for answers So many people forget to exist Call it heaven or the afterlife Or a fire filled hell It's just this, just here, just now That's all, that's all, that's all Somebody, somewhere is laughing Somebody, somewhere knows Somebody, somewhere is laughing Laughing 'cause they know So many people looking for answers So many people blindly convinced So many people looking for answers So many people forget to exist So many people looking for answers So many people blindly convinced So many people looking for answers 05. Down Without A Fight Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
They lay down and watched it all crumble around them
They lay down and watched their city burn They decided to give in today Succumb to their ways They truly believed they couldn't get away They couldn't get away Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right They went down without a fight Down without a fight Believing positivity, breeds positive happenings Now it's known Everyone should have been brave Now it's known If they had stuck around, their lives would have been saved They just turned and walked away No one ever thought they would Now there's only soot and decay Where their city once laid Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right They went down without a fight Down without a fight Believing positivity, breeds positive happenings They just turned and walked away They're never coming back Never coming back Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right (Never coming back) They went down without a fight Down without a fight (Never coming back) Believing positivity, breeds positive happenings 06. The Ornament Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Well I've been aching for someone I barely met
And I've been begging for something I'll never get And I've been tracing the footsteps of fallen men Hoping to fill this void with it But I'm here all alone again Here all alone again Here all alone again Hoping to fill this void with it With it With it Well, I've been chasing the impossible And I've been floating around this world Wondering why I'm still in orbit Choking on the fumes up here Choking on the fumes again But I'm here all alone again Here all alone again Here all alone again Here all alone again Hoping to fill this void with it With it With it Well I've been aching for someone I barely met And I've been begging for something I'll never get 07. The Thought Of Losing You Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Today
Today is a new day Put the pain away today Tomorrow Tomorrow's a new way Your scars will fade someday, someday The thought of losing you is not an option The thought of losing you never was The thought of losing you is not an option It's not an option After all this pain The pain's no more After all this pain The pain endured After all this pain I'll be sure that the future is bright, you can follow me Listen up, listen up You've come a long way Listen up to the sound But now there's a new way For you to forget and rebound It's now, now, now Get up, get on your feet It's now, now, now You know it worries me when you go The thought of losing you is not an option The thought of losing you never was The thought of losing you is not an option It's not an option After all this pain The pain's no more After all this pain The pain endured After all this pain I'll be sure that the future is bright, you can follow me Like a moth within a windstorm A drowning bee in a pool Like a fly beneath the swatter A spider crushed with a shoe The thought of losing you is not an option The thought of losing you never was The thought of losing you is not an option It's not an option After all this pain The pain's no more After all this pain The pain endured After all this pain I'll be sure that the future is bright, you can follow me 08. Kalathat Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
He lived the life, never offended, he played by the rules
Struck the right chords, he was never out of tune Sacrificed every second for his kids and wife Thought to himself, "If I only had more time..." He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve! It's a problem to resolve, someday" Commuted daily to his high-tech job Waited in line patiently with the rest of the mob Now, a taste of success can forever jade When the pink slip arrived, he had finally lost his way He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve! It's a problem to resolve, someday" He abandoned his family, he's by himself There's nothing left now No substance, no wealth His whole life was work and business He could hardly see The story of a jaded man He'll never know what could've been It's all too common these days It's all too common these days It's all too common these days It's a problem that he saw It's a problem he resolved 09. Sun Goes Down Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
(We know you really wanna join us
We know you really wanna party) Every little thing Every little thing around us Every single moment Chips away at our past Everywhere we look Everywhere is a notch And everybody needs Some sense of release The way you look at me It's hiding in the breeze You can disagree But it's all that you wanted We feel more alive when the sun goes down There's no time to dream, oh no We feel more alive when the sun goes down We're taking it gradually, oh no Every contradiction Every lasting remark Every agreement Every little spark Every single action Every taste of suspense Everybody climbs over When you put up your fence The way you look at me It's hiding in the breeze You can disagree But it's all that you wanted We feel more alive when the sun goes down There's no time to dream, oh no We feel more alive when the sun goes down We're taking it gradually, oh no Every little thing Every little thing around us Every single moment Fading into the past Everywhere we run Everywhere a distraction And everybody needs Some sense of release The way you look at me It's hiding in the breeze You can disagree But it's all that you wanted We feel more alive when the sun goes down There's no time to dream, oh no We feel more alive when the sun goes down We're taking it gradually, oh no 10. Where I'll End Up Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
You say the sky is falling, but it's the earth rising
A perception as precious as some gold You spend all of your time in front of the tunnel At the beginning of the light Scrambling for someone amongst the cold Well, I don't want to, but I've to Where I'll end up I'm not really sure Well, I don't want to, but I have to Yes, I have to let you go Change is calling but your fears keep stalling Your potential to progress and transform You spend all of your time solving a puzzle A beginning with no end in sight A violent storm waiting to unfold Well, I don't want to, but I've to Where I'll end up I'm not really sure Well, I don't want to, but I have to Yes, I have to let you go Running like I'm stationary transient You'll get over it Yep, you'll get over it Creatures of happiness to be left alone out here Hasn't been over dressed Feeling like we've been through this all before You'll get over it You'll get over it I don't know what I'd do without all of this You'll get over it Well, I don't want to, but I've to Where I'll end up I'm not really sure Well, I don't want to, but I have to Yes, I have to let you go 11. Before It Began Music by dredg Lyrics by Gavin Hayes
Travelled up and down these roads
Had to adventure out and become a man Started in a familiar place But ended up in a foreign land But as the story usually goes, nothing quite went as planned He was on an endless road, feeling like a king Even after the initial bite, the wound still did sting It's not an easy thing to deal with, even for the toughest man It was already over, before it began It was already over, before it began The same strut was in his walk, the same fire was in his eye Before his child was even born, he'd already said his goodbyes He was on an endless road, feeling like a king Even after the initial bite, the wound still did sting It's not an easy thing to deal with, even for the toughest man It was already over, before it began It was already over, before it began |
